Technology has created more jobs than it has destroyed, says 140 years of data
Study of census results in England and Wales since 1871 finds rise of machines has been a job creator rather than making working humans obsolete
“Here are the study’s main findings:
Hard, dangerous and dull jobs have declined
‘Caring’ jobs have risen
Technology has boosted jobs in knowledge-intensive sectors
Technology has shifted consumption to more luxuries
… and left more money for grooming”

@sabram in my opinion, *networked* technology is quite a different beast. While ultimately beneficial, significant soc dislocations await!
